+ | Using the file utility one can find file types. Once the file type is discovered one will be able to find the tools required to work with it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some files were uuencoded and needed to be uudecoded. I'm still not sure what occurs when they are decoded, though I know that the result is another file appearing. | ||

+ | The return of the puzzle box. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I found more uuencoded files to uudecode and made use of the cp and append to make a bat. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I encountered some passwords, the final of which was perturbing -making blank space at the end of the password is a jerk move. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I edited the C code provided to convert octal and compiled it to get said password and make the mentioned bat. | ||

+ | Web Page Adventure | ||
+ | |||
+ | I am creating a Web Page Adventure called Welcome To the Internet, I'll Be your Guide, which will lead one through some popular cultural aspects of the internet. Such mostly includes cats. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As one traverses through the adventure they may also encounter some other less positive aspects of note from the internet. While one can not truly experience the internet with a filter, I managed to keep explicit content out. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I ran into some issues embedding videos. Upon viewing embedded videos with the developer tools in Chrome I was able to find the information i needed and use ?autoplay=1 to autoplay videos when viewers enter the page. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Making the pages was tedious and I'll likely not do such again. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Reflections on project udr0==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Data recovery. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This took some time to figure out -it was submitted late, though was quite enlightening. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Explored hex editing with hexedit to view data in a file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Used bc to convert hex and octal into base ten to make use of the dd command, which only used base ten. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Made extensive use of the dd command to extract and copy data from the corrupt file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I smell pork-chops cooking and it's making me super hungry. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Used netpbm to edit the image data to find a taco cat, which is a palindrome. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Reflections on project sfp0==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Scripting for fun or profit was not profitable, though after some frustration was found to be fun. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Because of my lack of confidence with bash scripting I waited until the day the project was due to complete it, though such time was ample. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For the project I made extensive use of if statments, variables and arithmatic. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I also used source to pull variables from a file. Becuase source does not have a man page one must use "help source" | ||
+ | |||
+ | I had issues comparing certain variables and had to use the -gt, -ge, -lt commands to overcome such. | ||
